Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai is the Founder of our mission of love and service as propounded by Sri Sathya Sai Baba, noted humanitarian, spiritual teacher and philanthropist. Swami (as He is known) is the inspiration behind the work of the Divine Will Foundation (DWF). Sai Baba’s life was dedicated to the upliftment of humanity across all levels. He taught others by His example to work selflessly for the betterment of society; helping others everywhere regardless of any distinctions such as caste, creed, color, gender, age or socio-economic status. His dictum of “LOVE ALL-SERVE ALL” was put into practice through the schools, hospitals, water projects and many other such endeavors undertaken by Sai Baba’s followers worldwide. He embodied the ideals of truth, right conduct, non-violence, peace and love.
Walking in the footsteps of Sathya Sai Baba, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai is instrumental in furthering Sai Baba’s mission by establishing various humanitarian service projects across 30 countries including those in the US. Since 2011, he has been leading and inspiring dedicated volunteers and passionate individuals in establishing institutes of excellence in Education, Healthcare, Nutrition and Spirituality across the world to serve humanity. In 2013, He inspired the US team to establish the Divine Will Foundation.
Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai continues as our mentor, consultant and guiding light. Sai Baba often stated, “My life is My message.” It is our hope that we too will embody these teachings and make our lives such a message.
DIVINE WILL FOUNDATION
DWF was established in 2013 with the goal of providing and supporting projects that would serve those in need in whatever way possible. It is based on the well-known teaching of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, “LOVE ALL-SERVE ALL”.
While many involved are students of this renowned and revered Spiritual teacher and humanitarian, many are involved due to their commitment to the mission of serving humanity and the planet.
DWF has been funding various educational, medical, nutrition, sustainable energy and water purification projects as well as programs focused on spiritual topics and social uplift both in the US and Internationally. The foundation also consults with other individuals and organizations globally who wish to participate in helping those in need in their communities.
In addition to proudly being part of the Sai Global Federation of Foundations we regularly collaborate with other like-minded organizations to further our mutual goals.
In addition to providing service to others and the planet in a variety of forms, DWF is also focused on the personal transformation of those involved with these projects. We believe that all of us are on a path that leads from I to We to Unity. We see our service work as an integral component of traveling that path. DWF does not advocate any religion, group or sect.
Divine Will Foundation was granted 501(c)(3) status by the United States federal government on October 4, 2013. EIN 46-3820097.
We make no distinction as to who or where we serve believing instead that:
There is only one religion, the religion of love
There is only one caste, the caste of humanity
There is only language, the language of the heart and
There is only one God and this God is omnipresent
